Bulgari unveils the Chandra City bags fit for the altruistic jet set

Bulgari is bringing new meaning to the concept of global outreach. The Italian house is launching the Chandra City, a collection of special-edition bags inspired by 10 international hot spots, from Santa Fe to Shanghai. Paris' romantic streets, lit up by Art Nouveau lamps at night, are echoed in Bulgari's black fabric carryall, sparkling with 1920s-style cabochon-cut fluorite stones, white beads, and transparent crystals. The Chandra New York captures the speed and aggression of the city that never sleeps in skyscraper gray metallic leather and tough brass studs. And a bag that lavishly combines lasered mink, python, aventurine quartz, amethyst, and blue agate? Saint Petersburg, of course. The best part? In partnership with the nonprofit organization Save the Children, Bulgari will host auctions for the bags in some namesake cities, with proceeds going to humanitarian aid projects for Haitian children. Time to plan a vacation!
